Met Gala: Barry Keoghan channels Ringo Starr as he risks awkward Sabrina Carpenter reunion
Exes Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter arrived separately at the 2025 Met Gala after making their red carpet debut at the star-studded fundraiser last year Exes Sabrina Carpenter and Irish actor Barry Keoghan arrived separately at the 2025 Met Gala this evening after making their red carpet debut as a couple at the annual fundraiser last year. The Espresso hitmaker and the dad-of-one posed together at the event in May last year after being first linked months prior. Three months later it was reported Sabrina and Barry had split up, with the Saltburn actor deactivating his social media accounts and issuing a damning statement as fans speculated he had cheated on his ex. Walking the blue carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Barry seemingly paid tribute to Ringo Starr at the 2025 gala following his casting in the upcoming The Beatles biopics. In a look that wouldn't be out of the place on the cover of the Scouse band's 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Barry looked dapper in a custom made Valentino military-inspired outfit. However, while The Beatles opted for contrasting bright colour combos, Barry opted for dark tones and floral details. The Oscar nominated actor avoided an awkward run-in with his ex Sabrina as he arrived shortly after her. The Short N Sweet singer ditched her pants for the 2025 Met Gala, stunning in a burgundy bodysuit by Louis Vuitton with a dramatic train. A number of high-profile names dropped out of the star-studded event earlier this evening, with newly single Jennifer Lopez breaking her run of appearing on the famous red carpet. According to the Daily Mail, the mum-of-two is busy working on her new film Office Romance with Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein in the New Jersey area instead. Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were rumoured to be attending at the Met Gala in New York this evening, though it has now been claimed that they have pulled out of the event despite originally planning to. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, made a last-minute decision to pull out of the star-studded event over the weekend, choosing to stay put in the UK instead. This homebound choice is believed to be linked initially to David Beckham's landmark 50th birthday celebrations. David was surrounded by a celebrity-laden crowd on Saturday night at his bash. Yet it is understood that both Brooklyn and Nicola were notably missing, and seemingly from other festivities commemorating David's milestone too, fuelling rumours of ripples in the family dynamic. Despite speculation that the young couple might show up at the esteemed Met Gala in New York tonight, it seems they had no such intention, with reports suggesting that his family was "always" in the loop about not attending the high-profile fashion fête. While Brooklyn and Nicola are familiar faces at past events thrown by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, donning their chicest outfits, sources now state that they've opted out of participating in this year's soiree, set under the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'. An insider revealed to the Sun: "They cancelled plans to attend the Met because they really intended to be at David's party on Saturday. But Brooklyn is really upset that blame for the rift has been levelled at Nicola. She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive - she's a loyal wife."

Instruments from classic Beatles album 'Sgt Pepper's' go on display
French horns used to create the sound of one of The Beatles' most acclaimed albums have gone on display. The brass instruments can be heard on "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," which was released by the group in 1967 and was number one in the UK charts for 23 straight weeks. Two of the four French horns used on the album have been exhibited at Liverpool Beatles Museum. Sian Kenrick, whose late father Tony Randall played the horn, got in touch with the museum in December. After officials confirmed they would like to put the instrument on display, Randall's family got in touch with the relatives of John Burden, another of the four French horn players on the album. Museum owner Roag Best said: "He was the guy Paul McCartney stood next to and, because Paul couldn't transcribe music, he would hum the tune and say 'can you write that down?' "He would have to write the music for the other French horn players." Before he died, Burden remembered the session saying: "They didn't really know what they wanted. I wrote out phrases for them based on what Paul McCartney was humming to us and George Martin. "All four Beatles were there but only Paul took an active interest in our overdub." Families of both musicians flew in from Ireland and New York to be at the museum on Thursday to see the items unveiled, with members of Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra providing music. Best said: "None of the instruments from the album have ever appeared and it is an iconic album. "One of the horns is in immaculate condition and the other one has had a lot of repair work and panels have been welded on to it, but by all accounts it still worked. "At the time the album was recorded The Beatles were the biggest thing so to go into Abbey Road and record with them must have been amazing." —PA Media/dpa
